Someone on Facebook is insisting that the republicans did call witnesses to the House proceedingsSo ask "someone on Facebook" who the witnesses were.
If "someone on Facebook said it, it must be true.
Just wanted to make sure I had my facts straight. Interesting they call it a trial as it is a political proceedings not a legal one
Technically, it’s true. They were allowed to call witnesses, but only one was permitted to testify, and that was one of the expert law professors who was also a Democrat who was also on the Democrats’ list of potential witnesses. . . he was effective for the Republicans on Constitution law, but the Dems ignored everything Professor Turley said, just as they’ve ignored everything their own witnesses said that impeached their own testimony in their brief they filed, which in most cases proved their testimony as presented was mere assertions, assumptions, and speculation of what they heard from third parties.
I saw many things asserted as factual that were not, and many statements taken completely taken out of context, taking partial sentences or phrases and pasting them into a pastiche that turned them into something they were not.
They rely heavily on Ambassador Sondland, as if he were the font of all factual knowledge. He wasn’t. He admitted it was all surmise and assumptions on his part under oath, but they quote him ex cathedra.
